AND MARSHALL
TO LEAD THEM
Democrats Name Their Candi
dates at St. Louis Amid
Scenes of Wildest
Enthusiasm.
AVOID THE FRIDAY "HOODOO"
Nominations Were Made Only Few
Minutes Before Midnight on Thurs
dayPresident Wilson at Ones
Notified of the Con.
ventlon'a Choice.
St. Louis. Hy strenuous suppression
of omtory mill rushing proceedings I lit'
Democratic nutloniil convention dodged
Friday us the day on which It renoml
tinted President Woodrow Wilson mid
Vice, President Thoiuus lllhjy Mar
ahnll. The superstitious party engineers
beat tho clock liy only a few minutes,
but It was enough to avoid the hoodoo.
Wilson Named at 11:52 P. M.
Mr. Wilson was nominated by nc
cliiiniitlon nt llifi'J p. in. Thursday.
Mr. Marshall was only a trlllo be
hind crossing the lino ut 11 :.r5.
In this lightning sprint Mr. Mar
ahalt made a record. .Senator Kern
was due for n nominating speech.
Sensing the approaching tnlilnllit he
threw his eulogy on the lloor and sim
ply said : "1 renominate TIioiiiiih Kllcy
Marshall." Somebody secundcil. Some
body moved to make It by acclamation.
And It was dono, the whole Job of
nominating n vice presidential candi
date taking up just ISO seconds.
Friday Superstition Averted.
Thus the ancient superstition
ngnlnst Friday nominations was avert
ed, although President Wilson had
mado It known that he regards Friday
as his "lucky day."
Dramatic scenes nttended the nnm
Ing of the ticket. William Jennings
llrynn In an Impassioned pnnygerlc
placed his O. K. upon the president and
tils ndmlnlstrntlon.
The Ncbrusknn, who resigned from
the cabinet, was not u delegate to tho '
convention, but he was called to the
platform by unanimous consent. He
landed Wilson to the skies for keeping
tho nation out of wnr, lauded the Wil
son Mexican policy and extolled the
economic legislation from tariff to cur
rency net.
Brynn nt times spoke under the
strain of emotion. It was tho first
convention In 20 yenrs In which he has
not been an active figure, but the ova- ,
tlnn and the outbursts that punctuated
his remarkH Indicated that ho Is still
n powerful force behind the scenes of
the party ho once dominated.
Wescott Names Wilson.
Tho Nebrasknu through with his
speech, John W. Wescott of New Jer
sey placed Mr. Wilson In nomination.
As the time Rrew short Wescott, cut
ting short his peroration, shouted:
"I nominate Woodrow Wilson."
Then followed a great demonstra
tion that lasted 40 minutes. Delegates
and galleries were roused to n high
pitch of enthusiasm and emotionalism.
They yelled and shouted und paraded
and sang. Some of them wept In an
testacy of feeling.
Harmon Seconda Wilson.
Former Governor Judsnn Harmon of
o, who was n candldato for the
presidential nomlnntlon nt nnltlmore
four yenrs ngo, made tho first second
ing speech for President Wilson.
The next was by Gov. 11. C. Stuart
of Virginia.
Senator Hughes of New Jersey
moved thnt the rules be suspended
and the nomination made by acclama
tion. The motion wns carried with a
tremendous roar.
The only objection came from Rob
ert E. Burke of Chlcngo, the only nntl
Wilson delegato In the convention. Ho
houted "No."
Senator Jnmes declared President
Wilson nominated at 11 ;fl2 p. m.
Kern Names Marshall.
Senntor John W. Kern of Indiana
then wits recognized. He moved that
the nomination of Vice President Mar
shall be made by acclnmatlon. No
nominating speech wns mnde.
Vice President Marshall was de
clared nnmlnntcd four minutes after
the nomination of President Wilson.
Numerous seconding speeches which
had been prepnred were not made.
Former Gov. Martin II. Glynn was
mado chairman of the committee to
notify President Wilson of his nomi
nation. Roger C. Sullivan presented n reso
lution expressing thanks to former
Governor Glynn. Senator Jnmes and
other ofllccra of the convention.
A resolution was adopted gllng

ORIGIN OF POLITICAL "BOOM"
Term First Used In Connection With
Movement for Third Term for
Grant
Tho word "boom," ns applied to a
polltlcnl movement, so far us known,
was tlrst used by the editor of n Re
publican newspaper In St. Louis. Mo.,
pending the return of Gen. U. S. Grant
from the trip n round the world tin
dertuken by him In 1870. Immediately

Lewis' Speech His Shortest.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois was Invited to the platform to
make an addess at 11!:1'J a. in, "I do
not like to Impose upon your time,"
wild Senator Lewis. "I beg you will
oteuoo nic nnd I express my sincere
thanks."
It wns the shortest speech of his
career.
Senator Hughes reported to the con
vention that the resolution committee
had failed to complete Its work on
the platform.1 The convention then
adjourned nt 12:.'ii! u. m. until eleven
o'clock Friday morning.
Forty-six minutes of sheer enthu
siasm and emotion followed the nam
ing of President Wilson. The minute
Mr. Westcott had yielded to tho ad
jurations of his audience and had spo
ken the name "Woodrow Wilson," the
galleries and tho delegates were on
their feet.
An Immense oil painting of the presi
dent wns dropped from the gnllery
bnck of the speakers' stand. It ex
cited the gathering almost to the point
of frenzy. Georgia bore down the
aisle n banner "Wilson: Dixie's glff
to the nation."
The band blared nnd thumped out
"Amerlcn" nnd "Dixie" while the grent
pit, n crater of eruptive humanity,
let out Its collective lungs nnd throats
to capacity.
Loekstep Dance In Hall.
Groups of helatcd delegates kept

tho gates broke Into tho hall nnd

Joined their voices to the tumult. In

the hall.
A woman bore the California stand
ard to tho platform. Emblems from
other states were grouped around It
while the brilliant lights of tho "movio
men" turned tho platform Into a
tableau vlvnnt.
And the singing 1
Tho crowd fairly lifted the roof.
They let out their lungs In natlnpul
hymns, "Suwanee River," "My Old Ken
tucky Home," "How Dry I Am" and
that other old polltlcnl anthem, "Hall,
Hall, the Gang's All Here." Then they
burst Into "Tlpperary" nnd rendered
It nt the top of 1,000 voices. It was
some chant. It was grent congrega
tional singing.
Bryan Lauds Wilson.
Rrynn In his laudation of Wilson
and his policies dwelt on the posslblll-
presidency of thu United States. The
term wns used so persistently nnd so
cleverly that It soon began to lodge
In popular thought, and to take on
the mennlng which the editor Intend
ed to convey when he declared that
the movement looking to n third term
for Grunt was "booming," or when
ho employed the Invention ns n noun
nnd bpoke of "the Grant boom."
The Iden hnd come to him from n
common expression used by the people

Details of the Niaht Session.
St. Louis. While the convention
was assembling for the night session
to nominate President Wilson It be
came known the Nebraska delegation
planned to withdraw the vice presi
dency candidacy of Governor More
head. Hefore the convention was called to
order the Coliseum was so full that
tho fire department took charge of the
entrances and permitted no more to
come In. William J. Rryan was
stopped nt the door. Senator James
learned of the Nebrnskan's plight nnd
rescued him. Then the Nebraskan got
his usual uproarious reception.
Chairman James rapped the conven
tion to order.
Rev. W. J. Hnrdesty, chaplain of
tho Missouri senate, offered prnycr.
Senntor Thompson then moved n
suspension of the rules to permit Mr.
Rrynn to speak. When the motion
was put there were some "Noes," hut
the chairman ruled two-thirds had
voted In favor.
Senator James Introduced Mr.
Rryan as "one of the leading citizens
of the world and America's greatest
Democrat."
In spite of the distracting Influence
of the mob nt the doors nnd the laughs
thnt rose occasionally when a bedrag
gled leader finally forced his way Into
the convention hall Mr. Rryan held
his audience.
Applause was frequent nnd thunder
ous. He spoke for forty-five minutes,
finishing nt 10:07.
Glynn Is the Keynoter.
In n hnll gny with tlags and bunting
and with pictures of party lenders,
past nnd present, looking down upon
them from medallions around the bal
cony, the delegates to the Democratic
national convention assembled on
scheduled time Wednesday. The pro
ceedings were formally started when
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
national committee, nscended the plat
form and rapped for order. He Incited
tho first burst of enthusiasm of the
convention when, In a short address In
troducing the temporary chairman, he
predicted victory for the party In the
fall.
The keynote speech was delivered
by former Gov. Mnrtln II. Glynn of
New York, the temporary chairman.
Ho was frequently Interrupted by ap
plause when some point In his speech
stirred the enthusiasm of the dele
gates. His eulogy of President Wilson
started the biggest demonstration of
the day. Following Governor Glynn's
speech, committees on credentials' per
manent organization, rules, ami resolu
tions were announced, nnd that day's
work was done.
The delegates were n little slow In
assembling for Thursday's session, and
It was almost noon when Temporary
Chairman Glynn culled tho convention
to order. Permanent Chairman Ollle
James was escorted to the chair and
Introduced. Ho Immediately launched
Into his address. He lauded the presi
dent nnd defended his policies, partic
ularly In regard to the controversy
with Germnny over the Mibmnrlne
warfare and our relations with
Mexico. An enthusiastic demonstra
tion greeted his pralso of President.
Wilson, which lasted more than twenty
minutes. At the close of Chairman
James' speech the convention took a
recess until nine o'clock In the eve
ning. Hefore the nominating speeches he

sweeplng everything before It It was
said to be "booming." The St. Louis
editor aimed to convey the thought
that the movement for th nomina
tion of Grant for the presidency in
1SS0 was like the onward sweep of n
great river under such conditions,
and therefore a boom. The term soon
came Into general use, and has been
applied In the United States eer
since, like the spontaneous and pre
concerted or organized movements
looking to the placing of some per
son In uu olllce of Importance, not
